Holy Martyr Archelaos and the One Hundred and Fifty-Two Martyrs With Him

St. Archelaos and the 152 with him (Feast Day - March 5)

Verses

Archelaos ran to be first to give his neck to the sword,
You O people were first to run to be decapitated for the Lord.

The Holy Martyr Archelaos and the One Hundred and Fifty-Two Martyrs with him met their end by the sword.*

Notes:

* The Synaxaria say there were 152 Martyrs, while the Menaia say there were 142 Martyrs.

Some sources say they were martyred in Egypt, while others add the names of Cyril and Photios and say they were martyred in Nicomedia.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
